The veteran speedster will provide bench depth for the Braves over the final two weeks of the season. He's hitting a paltry .129/.206/.129 in 36 plate appearances with the Braves this season. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes. Sep 17 - 10:03 AM

Braves sent INF/OF Emilio Bonifacio outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Bonifacio cleared waivers after being designated for assignment. He can elect free agency if he wants, although he might be best off sticking around since the talent-deficient Braves could give him another shot eventually. Jul 10 - 8:36 AM

Braves designated INF/OF Emilio Bonifacio for assignment.

Bonifacio went 4-for-31 (.129) with zero extra-base hits during his three-week stay at the major league level. Gordon Beckham was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding 25-man roster move. Jul 7 - 3:49 PM

The Braves previously intended to call up Bonifacio back in May, but he wasn't eligible to join the active roster at that time due to a technicality. However, he's finally up with the big club now that Mallex Smith (thumb) is headed to the disabled list. The 31-year-old was batting .270/.321/.319 with 23 steals over 57 games this season in Triple-A. His speed makes him worth watching in deeper fantasy leagues, but it's unclear how much he'll play.

The injury isn't considered serious but with a week left in the regular season, the team isn't going to push him. Simmons holds an impressive 1.35 ERA in seven relief outings since his call-up earlier this month.

This is a long-term play by the Braves, as Lindgren was non-tendered by the Yankees following Tommy John surgery in August. The left-hander has a big arm and could be an asset for the Braves starting in 2018 if his stuff returns post-op.
